I tend to agree with you Rammie.

Watching the just before 4.00am forecast this morning it did look like any storms were heading more towards Ireland and just hitting the far SW but that was this morning.

The problem I have is I don't know if I have a chance of something or not.

don't want to stay up if its pointless when I have a crack of dawn wake up call.

Oh yes nicely spotted. Keep an eye on it could we see supercells break out on Saturday? it certainly looks possible at the moment!

 

Certainly was a memorable one, T/T/d of 84/77 that day, 40kts of Deep Layer Shear, Dryline, 5,500Jkg Of Cape, these are not too far from what is being progged by ECM/GFS Still although I expect it to downgrade quite a bit. Our biggest enemy where we are situated is actually France with big MCS Storms pushing forward their anvil shields and killing off the next days chances, 28th June 2012 was a bit different with those Storms initiating in clear air over Worcestershire, Gloucestershire etc and moving into untouched / unworked air, the System the night before headed up through the NW/ Wales and Irish Sea, so do we really want the MCS Tomorrow night ??

 

With regards to Strongest in the Uk if you look on the Torro Site there have been 2 x T8 (EF4) Tornadoes in the last thousand years, there was also a 1 Mile Wide Wedge in Herefordshire and the Longest track was from West of London all the way to the North Norfolk Coast, some 115 miles on the ground.

Filming for the new blockbuster 'Back To The Future 4' has been abandoned for the day in Dawlish after film crew were stuck by lightning 5 seconds after the booming crash of thunder....

Oh yeah where is William at the moment I'm surprised not to have heard from him as late. Looking good for him overnight. Fingers crossed for him for sure.

Wonder if those down in Penzance and the far south of Ireland can see the lightning? If they can, they're in for quite a sea-spectacle.

if you're travelling along the motorway at 88mph and you see a sudden flash, don't worry, you haven't been transported to the future.

 

 

you've just got 3 points on your licence
